Happy 15th Birthday Diesel!

I got Diesel when he was 9 as a rescue from a kill shelter in Ireland. To get him at 9 I was happy to give him a few extra years to enjoy and live his best life. For him to still be here 6 years later and and turning 15 on June 30th, I can't believe he is still here! He seemed like a very old man when I got him, and had a lot of health problems. We then found out he had hypothyroidism. Within months of medication he was acting like a puppy again and improved massively!

Me and Diesel have a very special connection. I feel he's my soul mate and I would love him to be around forever! 

Diesel is one in a million and I feel blessed to have a Eurasier in my life!                                    By Jadie Cooley

Happy 11th Birthday Mishka Boots!

She was 11 at the end of May but I still find it hard to believe she's an "oldie", she certainly doesn't think she is! Being a rescue I don't have any puppy pics unfortunately, I'd love to know if she was born with those eyebrows :-D  The "then" photo is from when she first came to us almost 4 years ago, a scruffy, grubby scrap of a girl. The "now" is her having a great time at her first Champ show-something we never dreamed of.

Happy 12th Birthday Bubbles!

Birthday Girl – Bubbles 12 on the 15^th May                    by Ann Winter

Bubbles 'before'

In her glory days she was 'married' to the handsome Snoopy, but her circumstances changed. Luckily, she landed on her paws and was re-united with one of her numerous ‘furry children’ Murphy in 2015.

Bubbles 'after'

She is an absolute sweetheart and soon blossomed as you will see from the second photo. The first picture was taken whilst on holiday just a few weeks after she ‘came home’ – having decided to explore a swamp!

Happy 14th Birthday Pamina!

Tomorrow is our Pamina’s 14th birthday.
As I was thinking about it I realized, that the last 14 years have brought some of the happiest and also some of the saddest and most disappointing and hurtful days of my life. It has been quite a journey for Pamina and me and if I had known what it would bring, I would have said to her: Mini, if you can do it, so can I! And we have got through it all.

She has been the sweetest (sometimes well-hidden!), most amazing dog over all these years. We couldn’t have wished for better. ‘Brilliant at everything she does’ would best describe her, as her list of ‘achievements’ would be very long!

Now, she sometimes sleeps so deeply, we secretly worry she might not wake up. At times she gets disoriented on our walks, but she never worries, as she knows we will always be there to ‘rescue’ her. We can trust each other.
Here is to a few more years!

Happy Birthday, Pamina!
